Lyrics Country Ain't Never Been Pretty (Live from SXSW 2015) - Cam

One, two, three
You can clap too if you want

Her high heels on the red carpet
Her perfect hair blowing in the wind
With her designer jeans and fake eyelashes
Crooning, "Thanks y'all" to the crowd between the flashes

She may be singing 'bout the country
Puttin' out the hits
Those boots sure never stepped in horseshit
So thank God she lives in the city
Your part

('Cause country ain't never been pretty) yeah

You hear the rooster crow at the crack of dawn
And you've already been at it for hours
You're thankful there's no cameras
'Cause you make an awful face
Oh, the first sit in a cold tractor seat just can't be done with grace

Instead of hairspray and curls
You got hay and dirt
Slammed your unpainted nails into a barn door
But it's alright to look kinda shitty
Why?

'Cause country ain't never been pretty

As simply as it seems, who needs brand-name jeans
Your man's hands gonna cover the label anywhere

Country ain't never been pretty
And that's alright

Oh, if your heads on straight your hair will be fine
You might not get it at first, but you'll come around
And see your legs look great with both feet on the ground
All right
Please stop me if you get it already, your turn

'Cause country ain't never been pretty, yeah

You can spend eight hours at the gym every day
But then who would bale the hay?
You can iron your shirt and polish your boots
But then you may as well go put on a suit

The glitter and glamour, the fortune and fame
The sugar-free soy vanilla lattes
Leave all that to the folks in the city
Why?

'Cause country ain't never been pretty

It's easier than you think
Just buy a round of drinks
Beer goggles are cheaper than Gucci glasses anyway
Woo!

Country ain't never been pretty, and that's alright
Oh, if your head's on straight, your hair will be fine
You might not get it at first, but you'll come around
And see your legs look great with both feet on the ground

All right
So, please stop me if you get it already
If you've heard anything I've said in this ditty
I'll say it plain
Last time, say it with me

Country ain't never been pretty
